Hello Church,
You heard us talk about it on Sunday during worship, but here are the results. Yesterday afternoon the Mobility Cart that Orpha Sponsored, was decorated under the great direction of Hayden DeWeese, Margaret Carlson, and the Orpha Ladies, and that our VBS kids raise money for, took first place in Columbia!!!!!!!
Seriously, it was a great day for everyone. In Addition, Margaret won a 50/50 for about $950 that she turned over to Partners for Care based Kenya.
I want to say a big thank you to everyone who helped with the cart, and donated to such a wonderful cause! This is one of the best, most practical was that we can help support others so that they can live a life based more completely in who God has called them to be.
Check at the end of this email for a picture of the award winning cart.
And don’t forget that the fun doesn’t end with VBS. Throughout the rest of the month we’ll have Storytime at the Ark on Tuesday mornings at 10am. Its going to be fun! Be sure to invite a friend!
